God Bless you, for explaining things so much better. Other folks tell you, but they don't demonstrate. 😊 SO thank you so much. I was wondering if you can talk about the alevera plants. Cause mine is dying. My bad. I will be clicking on the bell to watch all of your videos. Again thanks for sharing the info.

Good luck to the plant. Look forward to the results.

[@houseplantessentials]

I hope there are good results lol

[@micheleneugebauer8172]

Those are really nicely designed wicking pots. They will really be very helpful with maintenance. Very cool video. I have never seen a wicking style pot that has the clear bottom design, neato!!

You put the cord in the wrong way mate the two ends trail in the water

[@jude1515]

Your plant is beautiful and very healthy.

[@lourdesjimenez3164]

P.S. I read that putting epson salt, is good to the plant. I'd like to know your opinion on that.

10:00 why isnt the water clean in the bottom? Didn't you water through the side?

[@fredhampton8026]

Thanks for the informative video. I am looking forward to seeing the follow-up video. ☺

[@houseplantessentials]

Thanks for watching! It'll be interesting to see how the plant does. I have another Pothos in one too.

@@houseplantessentials I hope they work out as I would like to use self-watering pots. Will you be monitoring the soil moisture with your moister meter? You stated you have never lost a plant from overwatering or underwatering by using your moister meter. I hope this works as well as bottom watering. Good luck ! 😊

[@houseplantessentials]

@@fredhampton8026 I had to add more water to the pot a couple days ago. I used my moisture meter on the soil and come to find out, the soil’s not overly saturated. So that’s good. So far so good 😊

[@houseplantessentials]

@@fredhampton8026 Now here’s the test to see if any yellowing of the leaves occurs

[@fredhampton8026]

@@houseplantessentials Thanks for the update. I guess you found my post from 6 days ago. Good! 😀

[@curiouskittenn]

i don’t think ur suppose to tape any of the string or even use 2 strings…. you loop 1 string

[@joshyr08]

i cant find the update video

[@fredericlabrecque5842]

Would this work with a large pot with a false bottom to moisten my 6ft moss pole?

[@thatonedog819]

Wager your pole from the top and it'll all end up in the pot too. Sydney plant guy has a good video on it

[@curiouskittenn]

@@thatonedog819 what is wager

[@connitahill7478]

I couldn’t find the update 🤷🏾‍♀️

[@jchaireasy]

Is there any updates?

[@marcelaa.7112]

Good question

[@asong222]

You did this wrong. Omg

[@ddddaaddaaaa]

this kind of self watering pot killed my snake plant 🤣

[@thatonedog819]

Snake plants don't like to stay moist. I would use this on calathea and ferns. Not snake plants.

[@Twinleo1]

@@thatonedog819 snake plants love to be dry, like a succulent. They aren’t a good plant to put in a pot like this since they like to be watered once a month.
